PUNTIAGUDO TEPEXTATE ARTISANAL 750ML EXPORT

Puntiagudo LJ-TPX-01, Tepextate Artisanal

This Tepextate is an intense, floral and herbal agave spirit, best enjoyed neat. It is produced by Maestro Luis Juárez, who we have known since 2023, in San Agustín Amatengo, in the Valles Centrales of Oaxaca.

This batch was made with Agave Marmorata, known as Tepextate, which grows 100% wild around Amatengo. The agaves were 12 to 15 years old when they were harvested.

The agave was harvested on January 13, 2025, then roasted for five days in a conical earthen oven with guamuchil and mesquite wood. It was crushed with a machete and a tahona, and fermented naturally for nine days in 1,200-liter sabino wood vats with stream water. The spirit was distilled once on February 24, 2025, in a 300-liter copper pot still fitted with a refrescadera, producing 120 liters. Of those, 85 liters rested in glass for one year before being bottled on September 25, 2026.

The result is a silky, floral spirit with a long, herbal finish.
